CopyMate Connections/Switch Setting V1-2 CopyMate assumes that the Copier has Electromechanical Counting Meters. Copy Count Meter input connections are made in Parallel with the meter within the copier. This pair of wires can be connected either way round and can be used with Meter circuits ranging from 6V to 24V (other voltages with some modification, contact your supplier for details). When using CopyMate with Copy Count Meters of 16V or above, then snip resistor R2 out of circuit. It is located near to the big chip. The Out of Paper” relay connections depend upon the way the out of paper switch is connected in the copier. If the out of paper switch goes open circuit, when the door is open, then use COM and NO connections in series with the existing out of paper switch. If the out of paper switch is closed circuit when the copier is out of paper, then use COM and NC connections in Parallel with the switch. Two versions of Firmware are available for CopyMate. Low Value Mode (for B/W copiers) and High Value Mode (for Colour Copiers) please make sure you have the correct Firmware and correctly programmed Coin Validator for the Mode you intend to use. Use a 12V Electromechanical Counting Meter (preferably without protection Diode) for the “Audit” Meter Please ensure to use a fully earthed 240V AC Mains Supply. (120V operation is possible contact your supplier for details) Pin 1 on all Green connectors is nearest the black relay.

This voltage will be seen by CopyMate, as a valid Meter Pulse and will Inhibit acceptance of Coins, by the Coin Validator. For CopyMate to “ignore” this voltage, but still “see” a valid meter pulse then some experimentation will need to be done, to see what this “stand-by” voltage is. Please use an accurate MultiMeter to measure this voltage and select a resistor value from the following. 1V = 2K7, 2V = 4K7, 5V = 10K. Remove both R1 and R2 from the CopyMate PCB and replace one of them with the value listed. CopyMate Principle Of Operation V1-2 Connections to CopyMate are as follows. Mains power, connection to Coin Mechanism, connection to Copy Count Meter in the Photocopier and a Connection in series with the “Out of Paper” switch of the Copier. After power up, the coin mechanism is switched on (and the reject button lamp) and the CopyMate waits for Coin/s to be accepted. The customer inserts coins and once enough money has been inserted and the vend price is reached. CopyMate switches on the Photocopier and waits for the Photocopiers Copy Count meter to be pulsed. Once it sees this signal, it then either switches off further copies being made straight away or waits a while (depending upon switch settings) for the copier to finish its copy cycle, it does this by way of breaking the circuit to the Out of Paper switch sensor on the Paper Tray. After switching the copier off, it pulses the Audit Meter connected to CopyMate. This will be in 1p units when operating in Low Value Vend mode or 10p units when working in High Value Vend mode. If the price of each copy is set at 6p for example, and the customer has inserted 10p then the balance of 4p is held in memory (until CopyMate is switched off), so if the customer were to insert another 2p, then he/she would be able to make another copy. In another scenario, if the customer were to insert a 20p, he/she would be allowed to make 3 copies in a row, before CopyMate switched off the photocopier. This would leave a balance of 2p in memory, so if he/she inserted another 4p, they could make another copy. As said before any balances left after a transaction, will be held in memory, until CopyMate is powered down. CopyMate audits all of the money taken, and not the amount of Photocopies Price of Copies The price of the value of each copy is set with the aid of the on-board DIP Switches (we will call this the POV). The switches set the POV in 1p or 10p increments (depending upon which Firmware is fitted), ether in Low or High value vend mode, and the attached Switch Setting chart will tell you which switches you need to make for the intended POV. Machine Turn Off Delay Because some makes of Photocopier pulse the machines internal “Copy Count” meter before the Copier has finished its copy cycle, and others pulse this meter at the very end of the cycle, we need to add a delay after this Meter has been pulsed before we switch off the copier function. Mars Coin Mechanism (Coin Maps) Two different versions of The Mars Cashflow Coin Mechanism maybe used with the CopyMate Controller. The first version is for when the CopyMate is going to be used with low value transactions. 1p – 63p per copy. This version will operate the mechanism in BCO mode, and must be programmed with the “CopyMate Low-Value Mode” coin map. Mars Coin Mechanisms are available from Brent Electronic on 020 8324 6102, make sure to ask for the correct coin map. The second version is for when CopyMate is used on high value transactions 10p - £6.30 (in 10p increments). This version will operate in Parallel mode, and must be programmed with the “CopyMate High-Value Mode” coin map.
